Newton Senior High School is gearing up to fight cancer with a winning team, the American Cancer Society. Join the Cardinals this Friday to cheer on the team, as they take on Norwalk and cancer, through Coaches vs. Cancer.

Coaches vs. Cancer is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches that empowers coaches, their teams, and local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer. Last year more than 2,000 colleges and high schools participated in the program, and any sport team can participate.

“I am really proud of the Cardinal community for committing to fight this disease,” said Newton girls coach Brandon Sharp. “It’s a cause we all connect with, and a fight we can win. Students and team members have gone the extra mile to raise funds and awareness, and we’ll be showing off our success during the game this Friday.”
